I don't know about you guys, but when I have my period, I really milk it. Once I am in flow, I warn my fiancé by making frowny faces and pointing to my throbbing uterus. You know, so he feels bad for me and makes us mac and cheese for dinner.

But I never considered using my crimson wave for any other kind of special treatment. Until now: Apparently, politician Mikhail Degtyaryov is introducing a bill in Russian that would give women two days of PAID TIME OFF every month during their menses. Say whaaaa?!

Before you hail him as a hero among women and the anti-Rick Perry, we must note that Degtyaryov's intentions are rooted in folklore and, well, sexism. On his website, he explains that such time off is needed because "the pain for the fair sex is often so intense that it is necessary to call an ambulance." (Do they not have Midol in Russia?)

Of course, it would be completely ridiculous to just peace out from work for two days a month because you happen to be bleeding from your vag—and such a policy would probably set us even further back in the fight for equal pay for equal work. But, part of me does like the idea of women getting special treatment we deserve during that time of the month when we have to shove cotton up in our ladyparts, lest we bleed all over ourselves and others.

So, we're throwing it to you: Do you think women should get to take a little vaycay when Aunt Flo's visiting?
